This ball gag symbolizes how women are told to "be seen not heard". This ball gag symbolizes how women are told to "sit still and look pretty". This ball gag symbolizes how women are told that their appearance is what determines their worth. This ball gag symbolizes how women are constantly sexualized no matter what they wear or do. This ball gag symbolizes how society views women as objects and we NEED to change that. Things like these are part of the reason why women don't come forward when they are harassed, assaulted, or raped.

Don't try to measure your worth based on society's standards.

Look beyond race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. Try to view the person you're looking at solely as a human being. You've been conditioned not to, but just try.
